Kids get free bookbag with their first library card

Coincidentally (or maybe not), just when school starts and kids get back into the reading habit, September is Library Card Sigh-up Month!

Our very own Webster Public Libraryis kicking off the month with new Welcome to the Library kits and Kids’ First Card kits.

Beginning this month, new community residents will receive postcards in the mail inviting them to come to the library. If they bring the postcard with them, they'll receive a free tote bag with information about the library, a bumper sticker, a coupon granting them one free hold, and information about local businesses.

The Kids’ First Card kits are given to children who are getting their very first library card. They get a cool book bag, information about library programs, stickers, bookmarks, and pencils. The new book bags are a great way to make getting their first library card an awesome experience, and to get kids excited about reading. They'll want to go to the library just so they can put all their borrowed books into their very own bookbag.
